Afterburning an oldskool GBA?

[Crisp_Rapper]

i'd like a backlight GBA but am not really interested in the SP (plus i don't really wanna have to spend so much), i have a pink see-through GBA and think it'd look really cool with the light behind it...

so the question, where can i get it done at nowadays?

thanks!

got mine done at www.portablegamer.co.uk and its still great a year or so down the line. I actually prefer it to my plat sp which im now trying to sell due to me preferring my old gba.

?40... not bad, are you happy with the results?

I got my old GBA done there - their work is excellent (takes A LOT for me to say that!)

I'd recommend them aswell, I bought a kit off them and fitted it myself.

Self install is a harrowing experience, so best to get it done professionally

i'm crap with a soldering iron and would without doubt kill my GBA... xyramax it is then!

Yes extremely happy, its how the GBA should have been. I cant get used to the SP so my black gba afterburned gba is being kept while im selling my sp.

I got mine done there too. Still going strong... They did a great job.

Yep, got mine done there recently on the advice of Kingmike and their work really is good, I was expecting a bit of dust beneath the screen despite their promises of 'clean room conditions' but there wasn't a trace - sterling work.

The dimmer chip is pretty cool too if you want to splash out the extra ?10.

i got an afterburner and attempted to do it myself and screwed it up - it work but there is a loose wire and now i have dust under the screen

personally i would recommend getting someone who knows what they are doing to sort it
